Wanna Bet? Prediction markets are coming to Canada.

from The Current

Imagine a world where you can bet on everything from when the war in Iran will end to how many tweets Elon Musk will post in a week. That world exists in prediction markets, and now those markets are coming to Canada. We talk to Werner Antweiler, an Associate professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, and he ran his own not-for-profit prediction market experiment for more than 20 years.
